Beside You
The Dustbowl Revival Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me where you're running to
I'm gonna be running there with you
See the trees swaying in the sky
See the birds flying past your eyes
I know you've been crying every night every night
every night
You're not telling me why
Your head's thicker
than a big bank vault
You keep telling me
it's not my fault
Tell me what I gotta do
Sweetheart to get through to you
I'm not like the men
that you used to know
that you used to know
that you used to know

I've been dreaming about you
every night
You're riding the redline until the morning light
she said don't worry about me

I'm right beside you babe
whenever you need me
Right behind you babe
whatever you need me
whatever you need
whatever you need
whatever you need

I know you try to be
so out of reach
I find you making fires on the beach watching the planes
fly over head
But why about you come back
home instead
I'm only home
when I'm by myself
when I'm by myself
and nobody else

Darling put your records on
Only Bill can sing your favorite song
Let's take off all our clothes
dance around like nobody knows
you can lean on me
you can use me up
you can use me up
you can use me up

I've been dreaming about you
every night
You're riding the redline until the morning light
and you said don't you worry about me

I'm right beside you babe
whenever you need me
Right behind you babe
whatever you need me
whatever you need
whatever you need
whatever you need
Right beside you babe
(Right beside you babe)
Whenever you need me
(Whenever you need me)
I'm right behind you babe
(I'm right behind you babe)
Whatever you need me
(Whatever you need me)
Whenever you need me
Whenever you need me
Whenever you need me
Whenever you need me
Right beside you babe
(Right beside you babe)
Whenever you need me
(Whenever you need me)
I'm right behind you babe
(I'm right behind you babe)
Whatever you need me
(Whatever you need me)
Right beside you babe
(Right beside you babe)
I'm right behind you babe
(I'm right behind you babe)
Whenever you need me
(Whenever you need me)
Whenever you need me
Whenever you need me




Whenever you need me
Whenever you need me
